NOCS NS700 Phaser Headphones

There was a time when we didn’t really care what headphones looked like, or the bells and whistles they came with. As long as they were convenient and actually played music we were fine with them. We can’t pinpoint the exact date, but it was around the time when the best options for portable music were produced by Sony and their wrap-around headphones were all you needed. Yeah, that was a while ago. Now that we’re a little more grown-up, we care about things like impedance and frequency and minimalistic design and a remote with microphone. That’s right, we want even our corded headphones to have a remote these days. And you know what, the NOCS NS700 Phaser Headphones deliver on all of these areas. You can change tracks, adjust volume and take calls without touching your iPhone, and you’ll never look like a walking billboard for the company.

AirPods, Apple’s popular wireless headphones, get a fresh look thanks to BlackPods, a company that paints real Apple AirPods using a proprietary painting and finishing process. Available in matte black, space gray or high-gloss black finish, each pair is hand-finished and tested. Whether you’re sending in yours or ordering new, combining the flexibility of wireless headphones with the sleek and luxurious BlackPods look will make plain old white AirPods seem boring by comparison. Better yet, BlackPods gives you $30 off your order by joining their e-mail list. It’s time to upgrade.
